Introduction to ScripTalk Station

How To Use ScripTalk Station
4.1 General Instructions for Setup

· Plug in the other end of the power adapter into the DC jack on the ScripTalk

4.2
Powering On the ScripTalk Station
The ScripTalk Station is switched ‘ON’ by turning the thumbwheel switch towards
the left. Turning the thumbwheel further to the left increases the volume. The
ScripTalk Station unit generates a series of beeps to indicate that the system is
initializing. A voice then says “ScripTalk Station ready” and is followed by a double
beep. The device is now ready to read a prescription label.
4.3
Scanning & Reading Prescriptions
Scanning a Prescription
Place the prescription on the top of the unit, above the semi-circle of tactile dots.
The container should be within one inch of the reader. Press the Read Button to
start the scan. You will a beeping sound. The beeping sound indicates that
ScripTalk Station is attempting to read the prescription. Once the unit identifies
the prescription, the speed of the beeps will increase. The pill bottle should not
be moved away until the reader begins speaking the prescription information.
If a prescription label is identified, ScripTalk Station will begin speaking the
prescription information in its entirety. When finished, it sounds a double beep.
Canceling a Scan
To cancel or end the speaking of a prescription label, simply press the Read
Button. The voice will stop and you will hear two beeps.
Manually Scrolling Through Prescription Information
While the device is speaking your prescription details, you can press the Previous
or Next Button to move through the previous and next items of information. By
using this manual mode, any specific part of the prescription can be read out as
required, as many times as needed.
Once ScripTalk Station reaches the first field, it repeats the same item if Previous
Button is pressed. Similarly, once the last field is reached, it repeats the same
item if Next Button is pressed.
Manual Time Out
After ScripTalk Station is done voicing out the prescription details, the device goes
into sleep mode. (Please note: Information for that prescription is held in memory
for only 30 seconds.)
Multiple Prescriptions Detected
You should only present one prescription at a time for ScripTalk Station to read.
If more than one ScripTalk prescription is identified during a read, a verbal warning
is given.
4.4 Changing the Voice Speed
You can change the voice speed by pressing and holding the Next or Previous
Button for about 3 seconds. You will be prompted to adjust the voice to the
desired speed using the Next or Previous Buttons. Once you have found your
preferred speed, press the Read Button to set. The selected voice speed will be
saved even after the device is powered off.
4.5 Spell Mode
If you have trouble understanding a word or wish to have the spoken information
spelled out for you, you can use the Spell Mode feature. This is enabled by
selecting the last or slowest step in the voice speed adjustment. Press and hold the
Next or Previous Button for about 3 seconds until you are prompted to change
the voice speed. Then press the Next or down arrow button until you hear “Spell
Mode”, then press the Read Button to select. You can then scan your prescription
and hear the information spelled out. To cancel this function, follow the steps to
reset the voice to your desired speed.
4.6 Operating With Batteries
ScripTalk Station can be operated with 2 AA (1.5V) batteries.
4.7 Low Battery Indication
If the batteries get low, the unit will voice out a Low-Battery indicator whenever the
Read Button is pressed. This prompt indicates that the batteries need to be
replaced.
4.8
Other Information About Your ScripTalk Station Reader
Leaving the ScripTalk Station On
If the device is left on battery power for more than 5 minutes, an audio chirp will be
heard every 1.5 minutes as a reminder to turn off the device.
What Happens if the Reader Doesn’t Find a ScripTalk Label?
After pressing the Read Button, the device will try to find and read a Talking Label
for about 15 seconds. If during this process the label is removed from the reading
range of the device or no label is presented, the device will timeout. You will hear
the prompt “Warning, unable to read label. It is very important that you do not
make guesses as to the contents or directions for this prescription. If you continue
to have difficulty, contact a caregiver to visually read this prescription or contact
your pharmacy.” You will then hear two beeps.
